Edge City- 2 Weeks Later- Chloe's POV
Chloe you're doing this for Clark. This is the only way to insure he is safe and no one can hurt him. Chloe sighs softly as she looks up at the stars. Not paying any real attention to Davis ramble on about how each stupid star got up into the sky. Sometimes he was a royal pain in the ass.
She hasn't slept for more than an hour a day. It's mainly because Davis hates not being with her and listening to her. It's like he's a lost puppy but instead it's a dirty tom cat that never leaves. The only thing that's preventing her from running for the hills and ditching Davis, was the keeping Clark safe and the only way she could keep him safe was by staying with Davis.. Forever.
Maybe there's a way to be with Clark and still protect him from Davis. Until she can figure that out she's stuck with the boringest astronomy teacher alive. She preferred listening about all this dumb crap if she were with Clark. After all anything Clark says and does is both interesting and amazing.
Those long summer nights with Clark looking at the stars at Crater Lake were always amazing. They'd talk until they either fell asleep in each others arms or until Clark woke her up to see the beautiful sun rise over the lake.
The thought of Clark brought back the heartache and pain from leaving him in the first place. Now Clark will be back to his hurt life of keeping secrets from the ones he loves most and lying to the ones he cares for most. Everyone he ever cared for has left him though. Starting with Pete, then his dad, then Lana, his mother is even gone, and now her.
Maybe this is what will make Clark stronger. Maybe losing all the one's he loves is the only way he will truly embrace the true savior inside him. Maybe thats the only way he will be the hero he was always meant to be.
Stop lying to yourself Chloe you know Clark will lose all hope in everything. And he is going to be lost and alone for eternity. And it's your fault. You should have let Clark send him to the phantom zone. But instead you are just looking at the stars with a psycho killer you barely know. But deep down she knew that if she let Clark do that he would never forgive himself for sending an innocent man to that eternal hell hole. Davis is a good guy. It's just the inner Kryptonian inside him that makes him this monster.
But what she does know is that she already made her decision and as much as she hates herself for doing it, she did. Now she has to honor it and stay with Davis for the rest of her life.
"Chloe? Are you still listening?" Davis said sitting up from the car hood. "Yeah. Maybe its sleep deprivation but I can't exactly see a toga clad women in those stars up there." Chloe answers as normal as possible.
This is going to be a long, annoying night.
Oliver's Apartment- Oliver's POV
Both Clark and Chloe have been missing for 2 weeks. And Oliver can't track down neither of them. This would have been a good time for Chloe's computer hacking skills and Clark's super speed to find them way faster. But of course they are the one's missing.
Oliver can only imagine what's going through Clark's head right now. He know's Clark and Chloe have always been close. Probably more. They both love each other it's kind of weird they have never even dated, but Oliver knew that either way Clark loved her and that he will not give up until he finds her.
Hopefully she's alone though or else Davis and Clark are going to have a big fight and at the end someone will die. Hopefully it's neither Clark nor Chloe. Hopefully he's able to finally do what's right and kill Davis before he kills us all.
A sudden bang on the door and then Clark is busting them down knocking one out into the streets the other flying across the floor. Clark looks like he hasn't slept in days maybe weeks, he has dry blood all over his blue shirt. Judging by all the rips and tears on his shirt it was his. Clark must of ran into some meteor rock and got in a fight.
Either way he was fine now except for the inside. He could see the deep black hole of feelings inside of Clark's eyes. He could see the pain, loss, grief ,self hatter, and most importantly the feeling of being lost in his eyes. Oliver has seen this person before. Oliver has been in Clark's shoe's when he found out Lionel Luthor murdered his parents. He felt everything that Clark is feeling.
Oliver never knew nor hoped this would happen to Clark. Clark was the only one who can rise from the ashes. Clark only see's the good in people. But that Clark is gone now. In his place is a lost man that has no reason to live. Oliver never knew that Chloe meant this much to Clark. Clark wasn't even close to being this bad when Lana left.
Chloe must have been the only person he has ever truly trusted and cared for now. But now that she has been taken away from him as well he has no reason to care or trust anyone or anything else. Unless Oliver can save Clark from this darkness like Clark did for him, Clark may never be the same man ever again.
"Clark. Are you okay?" Oliver says worrisome. "Oliver I need to use your satellite system to try and find Chloe." Clark answered ignoring Oliver's question completely. "Clark I know you care for Chloe but you need to face it she left because she was trying to protect you." Oliver says putting a hand on Clark's shoulder.
Clark brushes his hand off. "No Oliver I love Chloe and now she will never know that. I never told her how I felt and now that I finally said it out loud she will never hear the words because she thinks she has to save me." Clark yells in a angry tone. Oliver to shock to even respond so he just stares at Clark.
"Chloe has saved my life more times than I will ever be able to save hers. She has saved our lives everyday. Chloe has saved more innocent lives than anyone on this planet. She always called herself my side kick but really I was her's. She is the real hero here. Chloe Sullivan is my hero. Oliver, please we owe Chloe our lives. We need to find her and we need to save her. She is the only thing that matters." Clark says in a broken tone.
Oliver points to the laptop on his desk still not able to find the right words to say to Clark. "Thank you." Clark says as he walks up to the laptop. "Cl- Clark, I'm sorry I lost faith in Chloe. You're right. We owe her our lives." Oliver manages to get out.
Clark doesn't answers. Oliver walks up to him to see that he is staring at one of the pictures of Chloe. He could see the pain that's boiling inside of Clark right now. "I will find you Chloe." Clark whispers before he ex's out the picture and starts scanning the map of Kansa.
"We will find her Clark. I promise." Oliver says as he puts a hand on his shoulder. "I hope so Oliver, I hope so." Clark says as he lets Oliver take over the laptop.
